The Finding in the Temple
Spiritual Fruit: Joy in Finding Jesus (Piety)
"After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding."
Contemplation on The Finding in the Temple
After days of sorrowful searching, Mary and Joseph find the young Jesus teaching in His Father’s house.
As we recite the ten Hail Marys of this decade, we fix our interior gaze upon this mystery of Christ's life. We ask for the grace to embody its spiritual fruit, Joy in Finding Jesus (Piety), in our daily lives.
Sealing the Decade with the Glory Be
At the close of the ten Hail Marys for this decade, we stand in spirit with the Blessed Mother and offer all our contemplation back to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the Glory Be (Gloria Patri), acknowledging that all holiness flows from and returns to the Blessed Trinity.
